We’re kicking off another season of tennis! And I, personally, can’t say that statement without grinning from ear to ear, can you? Sure, it’s mostly the same locations, players, dates…but to a tennis-lover, it never seems to get old. The anticipation, the hopes, the drama, the passion and sheer exertion, it’s why we love the sport. Although I’m no longer working with The Tennis Channel, this sport will always be a part of my spirit. And I thank the network and the fans for many years of adventures, love and support. It was the most amazing experience of my life! I am still very much involved in tennis, both personally and professionally, and I look forward to another year of training, traveling, cheering and creating great content for the fans…let’s go! And with that, I’d like to share my favorite tennis/travel spot of 2014…playing under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France on the terre battle (red clay) during Roland Garros. I’m not sure if it’s possible, but I hope to top that this year. Happy travel & tennis! –Mayleen <3

WELCOME

Hello! Ni hao! Bonjour! Hola! Bok!

Some call me a jet-setter, wanderlust, even a gypsy...these are pretty accurate. But my new favorite word is "ferweh"-- a desire to travel, a longing for far-off places. The German translation literally means "farsickness", the opposite of being "home sick".

I've been flying and moving since I was born. Another favorite travel term of mine is "Third Culture Kid", which is a child that has parents of different cultures and grows up in an entirely different one; that's me, sort of. My parents are American & Chinese, but I was raised in Turkey, Ecuador, Zambia, Malaysia & America. Which understandably is why, I feel the most at home when I'm traveling.
